One of our dear friends, Sweet Ella Grace, and her family need our prayers. Ella is just beginning her battle with Leukemia, and needs our support.Children with Down syndrome have an increased risk of developing Leukemia. Ella was born with Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder (transient leukemia), which gave her a 30-50% increased risk.

Many may remember Ella from the Anna and Ella World Tour. She is a spunky little thing with the greatest facial expressions in the world. If you are in need of a pick-me-up, just a quick glance at Ella's blog will have you smiling at all her adorable pictures.

We love you Sweet Ella! We know you are a fighter, and so is your family. But mostly, we know that God is faithful, and in control.

Lori....thanks so much for your post for Ella. I love getting all of your comments. I really can't believe how much it helps to just be able to read about the prayers going out for Ella. It's truly helping to get us through this rough time. I am looking forward to Ella and Anna's next world tour!!

Anna Banana Pants

Anna Banana Pants is our third child who has a little something extra...an extra 21st chromosome. Having a child with Down syndrome is not the life sentence that many believe it to be. In fact, it is the probably the greatest blessing we have received as a family. This blog is about Anna, and our everyday family life.
